What is the exact meaning of the error message and is there a way to configure the probe to avoid this errors ?

Environment:

vmware probe 6.72

Answer:

By default VMware limits the "vpxd.stats.maxQueryMetrics" to 64. This will cause the probe metriccollection to fail if a Resource Pool/vAPP or a cluster has more than 64 VMs or a Datastore has morethan 64 VMs or disks. You will see an error message such as: “Failed to execute single perf query forentity ……. Follow VMware KB 2107096 to resolve.”Solution :Follow the instructions in the VMware Knowledge Base article "Performance charts are empty" #2107096 (https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2107096), on how to increase the "vpxd.stats.maxQueryMetrics." Increase the "vpxd.stats.maxQueryMetrics" to more than the maximum numberof VMs that you have in a resource pool, cluster. Similarly, increase the "vpxd.stats.maxQueryMetrics" to more than the maximum number of VMs/Disks that you have in a Datastore.
